The Flying Dutchman and the Penn Yan Express

By Jonathan Monfiletto

Toward the end of October, Outlaw Speedway – the four-tenths-of-a-mile clay racetrack on the outskirts of downtown Dundee – will host the Hoag Memorial Weekend, in honor of legendary racer Donald “Dutch” Hoag and his son Dean, who owned and operated the speedway for about a decade under the name Black Rock Speedway. At that point in the year, area racetracks – dirt and paved alike – will have capped their seasons and crowned their champions, and the fanfare of Super DIRT Week at Oswego Speedway will have taken place the week before. Yet, there will be at least one more weekend of action on the track in the Finger Lakes region.

While the Hoag Memorial Weekend honors in part the legendary racer – who was nicknamed The Flying Dutchman, even though he already had a nickname – it seems unlikely that Dutch Hoag ever spent much time racing at what was called Dundee Speedway during his heyday behind the wheel. In my research, the only reference I could find to Hoag competing at Dundee was in August 1958 when he filled in for Glenn Reiners – then the track points leader and a Dundee Speedway legend – after Reiners suffered broken ribs and other injuries in a crash at Waterloo Speedway.

Nevertheless, what began as the Dutch Hoag National Open Weekend started when Hoag was still alive and during his son’s ownership of the track. The name appears to derive from the National Open at Pennsylvania’s Langhorne Speedway. Hoag won the prestigious event five times – three times on a dirt surface in 1956, 1960, and 1963 and twice on an asphalt surface in 1967 and 1968 – and is the only driver to have won the event on the two surfaces. Dutch died in 2016 at age 89 and Dean – a legendary racer in his own right – died in 2023 at age 70, and now the Hoag Memorial Weekend carries on in their memories.

Born November 2, 1926 in Cohocton, Steuben County, Hoag lived in Naples, Ontario County with his family at least by the time he turned 18 and registered for the draft during World War II. Supposedly, a local milkman in Cohocton gave the tongue-tied young boy the nickname Dutch. Ironically, Hoag never took an interest in his father’s trucking business and wasn’t interested in automobiles or mechanics. When he joined the Army and worked in a motor pool during World War II, his service spent repairing vehicles apparently sparked his passion.

According to an article by Gary Spaid on RaceNY.com, Hoag began racing in 1949, the year Naples Speedway opened in his then-hometown. According to Hoag’s biography on HistoricRacing.com, he bought a racecar for $175 and towed it to the track on a chain. Either later that year or the following year, he won his first feature race at a racetrack in Corning.

The earliest newspaper reference I could find for Dutch Hoag through NYS Historic Newspapers is an August 1951 report of his winning a race at Wellsville Speedway. In May 1952, Hoag was among the 40 racers who opened the season at the Monroe County Fairgrounds speedway (which had been active as a racetrack since at least 1950, when a NASCAR Grand National event took place there) and began that year a string of four consecutive track championships there.

While dominating in Monroe County from 1952 to 1955, Hoag continued competing at Naples Speedway as well as at Bath Speedway, where he won three straight track titles from 1952 to 1954; at Canandaigua Speedway, where he won titles in 1953 and 1954; and at Hemlock Fairgrounds, where he claimed the championship in 1953. Hoag also captured NASCAR New York State Championships in 1953 and 1954 – standing on top of the points as the best weekly racer in the state in those years.

During the 1954 season, Hoag was listed as being from Penn Yan, while reports from previous years noted Naples as his residence. Where exactly he lived in Penn Yan is unclear; the 1956 Penn Yan Directory lists the Hoag family at 93 E. Lake Road, the 1955-1956 Penn Yan Telephone Directly shows Donald Hoag at 318 Liberty St., and the 1956-1957 phone book shows Donald Hoag at Excell’s Trailer Park. The 1951 Penn Yan Directory and the 1957-1958 Penn Yan Telephone Directory – which bookend these other publications, as far as the Yates County History Center collection is concerned – do not list the Hoag family at all.

During much of the time that Hoag was leading the packs at Monroe County, Bath, Canandaigua, Naples, and other speedways, he was sporting a red No. 96 racecar sponsored by the Penn Yan Express trucking company and supported by the Hinson family. Ronald Hinson, whose father Robert operated the company, maintains a website – pennyanexpress.com – dedicated to the history of the company. According to this history, the relationship between Hoag and Penn Yan Express began in 1953 as new V8 engines were beginning to appear at local racetracks. On Friday afternoons during the racing season, the Penn Yan Express trucks would be moved out of the garage and the racecars moved in so they could be readied for that night’s races. Two employees remained at the garage until the race team returned from the racetrack, so the racecars could be repaired and prepared for the next night’s races. And Hoag was a fellow employee to his Penn Yan Express comrades; the 1956 Penn Yan Directory lists him as a truck driver for the company, while his wife, Doris, worked as a clerk there.

In addition to Hoag’s weekly competitions at various area speedways, Penn Yan Express sponsored and supported him in races at Langhorne and at Daytona Beach (when the races took place on the beach surface before the modern superspeedway was built) as well as in one of Hoag’s four Grand National starts, in 1955 at Monroe County. Driving the No. 96 Chevrolet – purchased from Penn Yan’s Jolley Chevrolet – Hoag started fifth and completed 96 laps after breaking a wheel and finishing 17th. It was the second Grand National start for Hoag that year, as he recorded his career-best finish of eighth at Palm Beach Speedway. He had finished 12th at a Grand National event at Monroe County in 1952 and would finish 45th at a NASCAR-sanctioned race at Langhorne in 1957. The year 1955 saw the end of Penn Yan Express’ involvement in auto racing and with Hoag.

After four straight track championships, Hoag stood atop the point standings at Monroe County in July 1956 when he suddenly announced his retirement from auto racing. According to the Williamson newspaper of the time, Hoag “said he’s had enough, and that he needs the time to devote to his family.” Indeed, the next mention of Hoag competing in a race is his substitution for Reiners at Dundee in 1958. Nevertheless, Hoag didn’t stay retired long, as he entered a stock car event at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse on Labor Day in 1958. Hoag continued to race into the 1960s and 1970s, record three championships apiece at Shangri-La Speedway in Owego and Spencer Speedway in Williamson. He also won a couple of Labor Day races at the State Fairgrounds in 1967 and 1968.

In February 1969, at 43 years old, Hoag competed as a “rookie” in the Permatex 300, a race of the Late Model Sportsman series (later called the Busch Series and now called the Xfinity Series) at Daytona International Speedway. Driving a 1968 Dodge prepared by B.R. Dewitt, Hoag started fourth and finished second in the 300-mile event. An October 1970 in the Courier Express of Buffalo, about the final race at Langhorne, described Hoag as retired. Still, subsequent years found Hoag competing at Lancaster Speedway, Fulton Speedway, and other tracks. Yet it seems Hoag retired for good at some point in the 1970s, and he operated Dutch’s Service Station in Bath until the mid-1980s.

Hoag spent his later years helping his son, Dean, and his grandson, Alex, build their own successful auto racing careers and carry on the Hoag legacy to three generations. It is estimated Hoag won more than 400 feature races during his own legendary career.

This week on the Daly Dose, the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Shoehei Ohtani, Jayden Daniels won the Heisman Trophy, the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA in-season tournament and the Kansas City Chiefs found a creative way to lose a game! Then, we are joined by author Ray Hartjen to discuss a number of subjects! Ray talks about his book Immaculate: How the Steelers Saved Pittsburgh, and how the Pittsburgh Steelers not only changed their fortunes on the field, but may have actually changed the city of Pittsburgh in the process! We look back at some of the greatest players in Steelers history and some of the favorite teams in the history of the franchise! We reflect on how much the NFL has changed since the 70's and 80’s, and how some of those stars from the past might fare in today’s game! Ray also has a book that is far more personal in nature that could make a perfect gift to pre-order for the holidays! Me, Myself & My Multiple Myeloma: A Behind-the-Scenes Look for Patients, Caregivers & Allies is an intimate and inspiring account where Ray reflects on every step of his battle with cancer. If you know anyone going through difficult times, this is a book that will encourage and embolden any reader! Finally, we preview the book that Ray is currently writing, that will detail the amazing ups and downs of the greatest spectacle in racing, the Indianapolis 500!
